"Timid men...prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty" --Jefferson
It means liberty is the way to go, even if it's a little unruly at times.
SOME NOTES ch.11--
1.Jefferson's party is now known as the Jeffersonian Republicans.
2. Ironic as it is, the new government is showing reflections of what they hated about England. i.e A STAMP TAX!
3.There really was no navy even though John Adams put together the "John Adam's Jackasses".
4. Did Thomas #9Jefferson and Sally Hemmings have sexual relations?! According to some cutting edge science, Jefferson was no doubt the father of Sally Hemming's children. Note that he was not married though, this was not an affair.
5. Federalists were generally up north, especially Connecticut.
6. we end up fighting the English again in 1812...we'll learn about that later though.
7. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the 4th of July 50 years after signing the Declaration of Independence.
8. #11Jefferson said "We are all Federalists, we are all Republicans." What was he saying in his first inaugural, and did he really do things in his presidence to reflect this?

Chapter 9- Rebuilding the New Nation
#1#6The Revolution wasn't really a revolution, but more of a fight for independence. Wasn't a revolution in the true sense.
#2#8There were problems with the confederation after the revolution.
WHAT WAS THE REAL FIRST CAPITAL??
--The Articles of Confederation were signed in YORK, PA. That sets the stage that York might be the first capital of the states. But it's really not. Under the Constitution New York City is the real first capital.
the only reason the Continental Congress was in York was because they were running away from the British out of Philly and wanted to get across the river. George Washington did want the first capitol to be in York, however.
--When NYC was named capital, PA got mad because they did the Declaration of Independence, they did the Articles of Confederation, and they had both Continental Congresses. So the government decided to let Philly be the capital for ten years while Washington DC was being built. DC has been the capital ever since.
